Sea water air conditioning (SWAC), also known as ocean water cooling, is an alternative cooling system that uses the deep cold seawater as the chilling agent for a closed-loop fresh water distributed cooling system. It is one type of deep water source cooling. Once installed, SWAC systems typically operate at approximately 15% of the power ...
In addition to cooling the cylinder walls, jacket water is often found as an insulator between the exhaust header and the engine room. Jacket water cooling systems can be cooled by a central cooling water loop or can be cooled directly by seawater.
Cornell University's Lake Source Cooling System uses Cayuga Lake as a heat sink to operate the central chilled water system for its campus and to also provide cooling to the Ithaca City School District. [3] The system has operated since the summer of 2000 and was built at a cost of $55–60 million. It cools a 14,500 ton (51 megawatt) load. The ...
English: A schematic of a fully closed internal combustion engine cooling system for ships. 1. Cooling pipes; filled with chemical cooling substance; fully closed; cooled itself by seawater.

Water is inexpensive, non-toxic, and available over most of the earth's surface.Liquid cooling offers higher thermal conductivity than air cooling. Water has unusually high specific heat capacity among commonly available liquids at room temperature and atmospheric pressure allowing efficient heat transfer over distance with low rates of mass transfer.
Though the total particulate emissions from wet cooling towers with fresh water make-up is much less, they contain more PM 10 and PM 2.5 than the total emissions from wet cooling towers with sea water make-up. This is due to lesser salt content in fresh water drift (below 2,000 ppm) compared to the salt content of sea water drift (60,000 ppm). [48]
They either use closed cycle cooling by using cooling towers or once through cooling. Selection of type of system is based on the thermal pollution effect on sea water and techno-economics based on the distance of power station from the coast and cost of pumping sea water. Due to high salt concentration, it is necessary for circulating water ...
